ORDER - The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa transferred this habeas corpus action to this Court on the basis that the petitioner is currently in custody in the Clay County Justice Center.

The petitioner will have through January 23, 2026, to file an amended petition naming all necessary respondents and accounting for any other material factual or legal developments since the filing of the original petition more than a month ago. The Court will issue additional orders once the amended petition has been filed. *** SEE ORDER ***. Signed by District Judge Matthew P. Brookman on 1/16/26. Copies provided per distribution list.
